Naturally the dying man wonders to himself

Has commentary been more elusive than anybody else

And had he successfully

beaten back the rising tide

Of idiots dilettantes and fools

On his watch while he was alive

Lord just a little more time

Oh in no time at all

This'll be the distant past

Ooh

So says the dying man once I'm in the box

Just think of all the overrated hacks running amok

And all of the pretentious ignorant voices

that will go unchecked

The homophobes hipsters and 1

The false feminists he'd managed to detect

Oh who will critique them once he's left

Oh in no time at all

This'll be the distant past

What he'd give for one more day to rate and analyze

The world made in his image as of yet

To realize what a mess to leave behind

Eventually the dying man takes his final breath

But first checks his news feed to see

what he's 'bout to miss

And it occurs to him a little late in the game

We leave as clueless as we came

For the rented heavens to the shadows in the cave

We'll all be wrong someday

Oh

Oh

Oh
